News: MSFS 2020 is Coming in Next Month
Just in case you are not aware, the MSFS 2020 is coming in next month (scheduled Aug-18). We’ll see if it is going to bring earthshaking changes that will turn the simulation world up side down.

Some of the instruments on the C172SP in the latest version of XP-11 have been altered. Adjustments to the INTFG, ATT and TCR, therefore, are updated accordingly, in which the layout of the latter two were even renewed completely.

News: P3Dv5 Hot Fix 2 is Here
In case you are not aware, P3Dv5 Hot Fix 2 is now available. According to LM, additional fixes for high priority issues are included in the new Client installer. The Content, Scenery and SDK updates are optional.
IMPORTANT: Make a full backup of your current setup before updating to Hot Fix 2, just in case, because past experiences tell new updates DO NOT mean they are error-free.
Also, check with what others say about the Hot Fix 2 in the P3D Forum before you proceed. It may saves you a lot of troubles.
News: P3Dv5 Hot Fix 2 Coming Next Week
According to LM, Hot Fix 2 for P3Dv5 will be released early next week. Client update is needed only. But there will be additional fixes in the optional content and scenery update.
The “Cockpits_Collective” section has been removed. Previous photos in the section were transferred to their individual pages in the last few weeks with updates from some of the builders.
5/22 Update: Cockpit photos from Fernando Angel, Richard Leaton, Jean marie Humez and Doug Fields have been moved to their own pages today. Although their published dates remain unchanged, notifications of their additions to the blog are sent since they are actually new posts in a sense. You could directly search their names for their cockpit pages.

News: Prepar3Dv5 Hotfix 1 is Here
Just found out Lockheed Martin has released a hotfix addressing P3Dv5’s high priority issues two days ago. Nearly missed it while I’ve been working on the Honeycomb Alpha yoke story.
Hope the most critical issues are fixed. Will report back once downloaded and installed.
Edit 1: Run the Hotfix version briefly and confirm that the landscape issues in KHQM and LSGS earlier reported have been fixed.
Edit 2: Run the Hotfix version for nearly two hours with active ATC. No crash seen so far. Seems the fix does the job.
News: Prepar3D Version 5 is Coming
If you are a friend of Prepar3D like me, mark on your calendar that version 5 is coming in a week’s time (14-April). Not much about the details of it so far but here’s the video Lockheed Martin posted on Youtube. The ground texture of the airport runway at the end of the video looks amazing.
A good news at least for many of us needed to stay@home these days.
